Agenda Item

4.3 18-1862 Rent Stabilization Program Implementation Update.

The housing department's own data shows only 35 complaints of illegal rent increases in the last fiscal year. For 39,009 ARO units, this is a complaint rate of 0.089%. The rent registry is an unnecessary solution in search of a problem. Tenants and landlords are opposed to the registry, as shown by the lawsuits and recent press coverage. The unconstitutional privacy invasions of the rent registry are creating a multi-million dollar liability to the SJ taxpayers. Repeal rent registry now!
